Let’s get it going, get it going
Let’s get it moving, get it moving
Let’s get it cracking, get it cracking
Let’s get through it, get through it
Let’s make it happen, make it happen
Let’s make it work, make it work
Make it move, make it move
Make it worth it, make it worth it
Let’s get it going, get it going
Let’s get it cracking, get it cracking
Let’s get it moving, get it moving
Let’s get through it, get through it
Let’s make it happen, male it happen
Make it work, make it work
Let’s make moves, make moves
Let’s make it worth it, make it worth it
Let’s get it going, get it going
Let’s get it moving, get it moving
Let’s get it cracking, get it cracking

Deeply embedded within the sound scapes
A contemplated wisdom
See we’re headed to where the ground breaks
Through consecrated rhythms
Confiscated back from the system
We set it free like the truth is
While wining over the interns
And leaving the industry clueless
Taking A&R’s to do list changing their priorities
Record execs like
“Who’s this and who gave thee authority?”
Nobody we hardly the prototypes for success
Most labels with open arms
Don’t know their right from their left
So we show the light within our chest
On a road that must be reached
Passion poured within our hearts
Till it overflows in what we speak
No one knows it when they sleep
So we holler at the enslaved
Till they wake up with the same dream
That Martin Luther King gave
And all our names are engraved
On the pages of the Book of Life
The majors might have took the Mic
Just play us and the hook we write
Might insight them to bid on us
Cus I’d rather be live and direct
Then dead and ambiguous
We challenge them to sit with us
But who can blame us
On the path to being popular we’ll still be far from famous
And only my God can name us
Giving the glory to the Most High
Weather the D.J.’s are playing us or you listen in on Lo-fi
We doing it with no tie cus business is always casual
We doing it to show eyes we ain't always bout the capitol
We do it cus we have to for the empty and the half full
We’re living in the actual taking the time to ask you

Can we make it happen, make it happen
Can we make it work, make it work
Can we make moves, make moves
Can we make it worth it, make it worth it
Then get it cracking, get it cracking
Then make it work, make it work
Then make it move, make it move
The make it worth it, make it worth it
And do it now, do it now
This very moment, very moment
Don’t let it go, let it go
You got to own it, got to own it
Then make it happen, make it happen
And make it work, make it work
And make moves, make moves
Lets do it now
